let me update with what i have been doing this october

First of aall...i got a new laptop....and it's a long long story until i made my final decison.

originally, i was going for Dell cause they have such a good deal(plus dell is the only company that offer Cuo Duo 2)...so by the end of september i called to make my order...the lady i talked to had a very strong French Accent (i think the office is in Montreal bah)....so it took us a while to complete the order because i couldn't really understand what she was talking about...

anyway..after i made my order i was constantly checking my online status to keep track of the order process untill i found out something is wrong because afte 5 days my status is still in the 1st phase (there are 5 total)...so i decided to email the lady back and see what's going on...she was on vocation @@...so i have to email another person who she refered in her automatic-reply-email and then that person is out of office as well....i was very pissed so i just deicde to cancel my order because the lack of customer service they have. i also want to change my payment method cause i was gonna use my brother's VISA card...but then i thought it will be more ocnvenient if i can use mine to apply.

oh..and i also found our that Duo Core 2 is not available in North America still November...so even though if i were to order in the beginning of October..i won't get is till novemeber. these dell officer is just so sucky at computer technology..they knew nothing...so..i canceled my order and don't want to "bird" them again.

I applied a visa card and i kept searching until one day my fried showed me the Staple's 15 year annivary sale flyer..and i found this Toshiba Satelite AK9 laptop which is onsale and 400 dollars off...wow..that's a very awesomke...so i went to check it out..found on it's actually a great model...Duo core 2 GHz..15.4 inch wide screen, GEforce 7600 256 mb, 120 GB hardrive, and 1 G ram....since it's 400 dollars off (1600-400=1200)...my heart begin to pump!!! the technician i talked to was very professional compare to dell..and he told me disadvantage of dell service...in additon..his frd who worked in computer technology also suggest me not to go for dell because due to its quality.

i'm more tempting now...so then i went online and check out the same model in other computer store...and that Toshiba AK9 is actually very popular too..and the discount only happen in staples.....so then..i made my final decision...i bought it on the same day...Friday October the 13th!!!!!!

the laptop turned out well..it's faster then my desktop now..(render time increasd 4-5 times faster)...and then i will upgrade my ram when i go back to taiwan this christmas...yeah!!!!
